I already suggested Markus before seeing this post, that JavE could expand 
it's font tool to also render truetype/opentype fonts to ascii using 
algorithms from the image to ascii convertor .. or perhaps the linedrawing 
or fractal algoritms.
If implemented it could seriously expand the amount of fonts useable from 
the current 195 to several thousands ( since there are sooooo many truetype 
fonts that can be downloaded from the net )

He was very positive towards the idea, but was currently busy with work that 
paid his bills. (understandable)
